Dundee, who goes by the name of Brolga at home, has starred in a BBC television series about his kangaroo sanctuary, and tonight the series airs in Australia.

His 50-acre sanctuary invites visitors to meet the kangaroos he nurses to health after sunset when they awake.

A small and simple shack on the sanctuary's boundary is where Brolga lives, with not much more than a bed and a campfire.

"The response was so massive in the United Kingdom - Kangaroo Dundee was one of the highest rating animal shows in the UK ever," Brolga told 783 ABC Alice Springs.

Drawing in 1.7 million viewers on its first night plus a further one million online replays, the series has sparked a flurry of proposals from film producers and publishers, all eager to have dibs on the classic Aussie story.

"Basically every TV station in Australia is trying to get me to do more work with them," Brolga said.

With donations reaching the tens of thousands pouring in from UK viewers, Brolga says all the attention won't change who he is.

"Rather than spending the money on myself I'll make sure we get a kangaroo hospital up and running - that's the most important thing to me," he said.

He hopes the TV series airing in Australia will bring about more support for wildlife carers.

"Every town has a kangaroo carer...they're very common animals brought in for care from road kill or hunting."

But how it might impact on his single status is debateable.

Brolga admits he has received many "very flattering" messages from female viewers, including some models sending through their portfolios.

"Thats been funny but I don't take it seriously - if I walk into a pub in Alice, a girl doesn't look twice at me."

After a year of being closed during the program's production, Brolga's Kangaroo Sanctuary will resume for tours again on April 3.
